Down in Flames - Chris Isaak

Kennedy got it in a Lincoln

Caesar got it the back

Somebody told me Hank Williams died in his Cadillac

Everybody’s gotta go sometime

Sooner or later they call your name

I don’t know where yet, but I’m willing to bet that I’m going down in flames

Down in flames

Down in flames

When the good times end and they count my sins

I’m going down in flames

James Dean bought it on the highway

Marilyn found it in a pill

Elvis died — or did he?

— they're looking for him still

Some go soft and quiet

Some go out with a bang

Well it’s way too late for the pearly gates I’m going down in flames

Down in flames

Down in flames

When the good times end and they count my sins

I’m going down in flames

Add up all my misbehaving

And I’m past the point of saving

How can wrong feel so right?

Some things you just can’t change…

What’s it to you?

HALLELUJAH!

I’m going down in flames

Add up all my misbehaving

And I’m past the point of saving

Even in this noisy barroom I can hear that long black train

I already bought my ticket, I’m going down in flames

Down in flames

Down in flames

I already bought my ticket, I’m going down in flames

Down in flames

Down in flames

When the good times end and they count my sins

I’m going down in flames
